Aouda - a MKAL pattern
Aouda is an Indian princess. In fact, she is a character in Jules Verne's book, "Around the world in 80 days". Inspiration for this pattern came from an invitation to join a worldwide blog tour, representing my homeland, Greece. The colours of the hand-dyed yarn I'm using to knit my first sample suggest the warmth and exuberance of India. I hope you'll enjoy knitting and wearing this versatile scarf. Happy knitting!
